Paper Medium Greeting Cards

I was first introduced to Paper Medium recently when I was gathering information for the “National Stationery Show Perspectives” series. Their NSS booth really caught my eye, and I had to find out more. I’m completely taken with the whimsical characters that decorate their cards and calendars, as well as the happiness and positivity that drives Paper Medium’s founders and shines through in their collection.

See the entire greeting card collection at their website, and check out more adorable eye candy below:

NSS Perspectives, Part 6 (Final Post)

This is my final post in the “NSS Perspectives” series, and I’m a little sad to be done. I feel so grateful to all of the paper lovers who have taken the time to post about the show on their blogs and through Twitter. As some of my readers have said, I sometimes felt as if I were right there on the show floor because the coverage was so in depth. So, thank you to everyone who has shared their perspective of this year’s NSS. I really hope to get there next year!

Now, onto the final group of perspectives:

Art School Girl Perpetual Calendar

I’m really enjoying this delightful perpetual calendar by Art School Girl. Each month features an illustration, modified from vintage book art, along with a one line narrative suggestion for the month, such as “blow air kisses”. Hee.

Studio on Fire Design & Letterpress

Beast Pieces

I recently discovered Beast Pieces, the blog of Minneapolis design and letterpress shop Studio on Fire and, wow, talk about an amazing portfolio.

Studio on Fire has letterpressed a little bit of everything, from posters and invitations to postcards and stationery suites that include amazing die cut business cards. And omigosh, I’m swooning over this promo piece that they printed for Swink!
